Luke 4:7

    σὺ οὖν ἐὰν προσκυνήσῃς ἐνώπιον ἐμοῦ,
    ἔσται σοῦ πᾶσα.

    SU OUN EAN PROSKUNHSHS ENWPION EMOU,
    ESTAI SOU PASA

I'm trying to understand the exact shade of meaning that the initial  σὺ (SU) adds - does it merely add emphasis - "now if *you* should worship before me it will all be yours", or is it more like, "as for you, if you worship before me, it will all be yours?"

What's the difference between the text above and this form:

    ἐὰν οὖν προσκυνήσῃς ἐνώπιον ἐμοῦ,
    ἔσται σοῦ πᾶσα.

    EAN OUN PROSKUNHSHS ENWPION EMOU,
    ESTAI SOU PASA

Thanks!

Jonathan
